The Places We Live exhibits awe-inspiring pho­tos of slums in com­bi­na­tion with sto­ries from the peo­ple who inhabit them. Well worth endur­ing the Flash­tas­tic inter­face for.

In 2008, for the first time in his­tory, more peo­ple will live in cities than in rural areas.

One-third of these urban dwellers—more than 1 bil­lion people–live in slums.

The United Nations fore­casts that the num­ber of slum dwellers will dou­ble within the next 25 years. Urban slums are the world’s fastest-growing human habitat.
